==History==
 
===Early years (1996-2000)===
 
3 Doors Down was formed by drummer vocalist Brad Arnold, guitarist Matt Roberts and bassist Todd Harrell. The three were friends who had grown up together in [[Escatawpa, Mississippi|Escatawpa]], and who all shared a common interest in rock music. The band began playing locally around the city, playing a mix of both cover songs and original songs that would eventually be recorded on their first release. Brad Arnold eventually ended up not only drumming, but also acting as the group's singer, mainly because, as he puts it, "nobody else would do it, but I did and enjoyed it." Arnold is also their lyricist, and wrote some of their early hits when he was 15, often working on songs during [[math]] class.<ref name="songfacts">{{cite web | url=http://www.songfacts.com/int/2009/03/3-doors-down-frontman-brad-arnold.html | title=Interview with Brad Arnold | accessdate=2009-05-07 | publisher=[[songfacts]]}}</ref>
 
 
The band eventually began to tour outside of their city, and it was during a trip to [[Foley, Alabama]] that they came up with their official name. When the three men were walking through the town, they saw a building where some letters had fallen off of its sign, and it read "Doors Down." Since at the time they consisted of three people, they added the "3" to create "3 Doors Down."
 
 
A couple years after performing together, Todd Harrell asked guitarist Chris Henderson to join the band in order to make the sound more full. They recorded a demo CD of their original songs at Lincoln Recording in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Radio station 99.99WCPR started playing the EP version of "Kryptonite", and it became the #1 requested song on the station for over 15 weeks and led to [[Universal Records]] signing the band.
 
 
===''The Better Life'' (2000-2001)===
 
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Cover TheBetter 300RGB.jpg|thumb|left|175px|''The Better Life'']] -->
 
3 Doors Down's first album, ''[[The Better Life]]'' was released on February 2 , 2000, and went on to become the 11th best-selling album of that year, selling over 3 million copies. It has since been certified 6x platinum, thanks in large part to the international hit singles, "[[Kryptonite (song)|Kryptonite]]", "[[Loser (3 Doors Down song)|Loser]]", and "[[Duck and Run]]". A fourth single, "Be Like That", also did well and was actually re-recorded for the 2001 film ''[[American Pie 2]]'', with alternate lyrics for the first 3 lines. This version is known as "The American Pie 2 Edit".
 
 
For recording the album, Brad Arnold recorded both the vocal and drum parts. However, when touring to support ''[[The Better Life]]'', the band hired a drummer so that Arnold could perform at the front of the stage.

===''Away from the Sun'' (2002)===
 
Session drummer [[Josh Freese]] was hired to record drums for ''[[Away from the Sun]]''. Also, [[Rush (band)|Rush]] guitarist [[Alex Lifeson]] produced and performed on three tracks for the record, "Dangerous Game", "Dead Love", and "Wasted Me", but only "Dangerous Game" would appear on the finished product. The band hired Canadian [[Daniel Adair]] to play drums for the ''Away From the Sun'' tour. He would go on to record the drums for the band's next studio release, and was with the band aboard the U.S.S George Washington (CVN 73) to film the music video "When I'm Gone".

===''Another 700 Miles'' (2003)===
 
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Cover Another70 300RGB.jpg|thumb|left|175px|''Another 700 Miles'']] -->
 
In 2003, 3 Doors Down released a live E.P. entitled ''[[Another 700 Miles]]'' consisting of recordings from a live performance by the band in Chicago, Illinois. ''[[Another 700 Miles]]'' has since been certified Gold in the United States. Besides featuring some of 3 Doors Down's hit singles from their previous two albums, the E.P. also contains a version of the popular [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]] song "[[That Smell]]".
 
 
In 2003, the band began hosting the annual "3 Doors Down and Friends" benefit concert, through the band's own charity The Better Life Foundation. In 2006, this event was held at the Mobile Convention Center, with proceeds benefiting [[Hurricane Katrina]] survivors. As residents of Escawtawpa, the members of the band saw the effects of Katrina's devastation.<ref>Waddell, Ray.

<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Cover Seventeen 300RGB.jpg|thumb|right|175px|''Seventeen Days'']] -->
 
The band's third studio album, 2005's ''[[Seventeen Days]]'', has since been certified platinum. "[[Let Me Go (3 Doors Down song)|Let Me Go]]" and "[[Behind Those Eyes]]" charted with the most success. "Live for Today", "[[Landing in London]]" (on which [[Bob Seger]] provided back-up vocals and guitar), and "Here by Me" were also released as singles. During the ''Seventeen Days'' tour, the band appeared alongside southern rock band [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]], as well as headlined many shows of their own.
 
 
{{Clear}}Also in 2005, the band released a live DVD entitled ''Away from the Sun: Live from Houston, Texas''. The DVD was produced and directed by Academy Award nominated [[Alex Gibney]] and Doug Biro. It features songs from both ''[[The Better Life]]'' and ''[[Away from the Sun]]'', and even some early sketches of "It's Not Me" and "Father's Son", which were both eventually released on ''[[Seventeen Days]]''.

==Charity work==
 
===''The Better Life Foundation''===
 
 
[[Image:betterlife.jpg|thumb|215px|left|The Better Life Foundation]]3 Doors Down started The Better Life Foundation (TBLF) in 2003, with a goal in mind to give as many children as possible a better life. Since its inception TBLF has supported numerous charities nationwide, as well as providing aid and assistance to the Gulf Coast region of Mississippi during [[Hurricane Katrina]].
 
 
When the Mississippi town of [[Waveland]] took an especially hard hit from Katrina, the charity was able to purchase three police cars and a fire truck to help with rescue efforts. Also, in connection with Wal-Mart, were able to supply the town with three semi-trucks full of rescue supplies. There was also extensive support from TBLF in providing funding for rebuilding efforts in the town
 
 
3 Doors Down and The Better Life Foundation host a yearly show in at the [[Hard Rock Hotel and Casino]] in [[Biloxi, MS]] to raise money for the charity. In addition to a concert from 3 Doors Down and friends, there is also an auction, which includes numerous items from musical friends, sports icons, and other various supporters of the band and the charity. There is an average of sixty items auctioned off yearly, and proceeds are given to TBLF.
 
 
This year's show will feature 3 Doors Down, [[MuzikMafia]], and [[Switchfoot]].
 
 
Past performers include, [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]], [[Shinedown]], [[Alter Bridge]], [[Staind]], [[Hinder]], [[Tracy Lawrence]], [[Sara Evans]], and others.
 
 
Past auction items include a [[Paul Stanley]] guitar played on the [[KISS]] Farewell Tour, a total of four [[Roger Bourget]] motorcycles, access to the [[Dale Jr.]] racing suite, numerous signed guitars and sports memorabilia, just to name a few.
